By their very nature, Web Applications require multiple technologies to work together. Some collections of technologies are common, that they are collectively referred to as a stack. For example: the "LAMP Stack“ is Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. In this class, you will use XAMPP – which is short for Cross (X) Platform, Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Perl. Web Applications

In this class we will use: HTML and CSS (for presentation) – aesthetics – how does the site look? PHP (for scripting of all sorts) – functionality – what can the site do? MySQL (for database queries) – content – what are the data that the site can display? Web Development
